The Ballad of the Sad Café - Part I

Sun, Dec 8, 1963

A tangled triangle. In the rural South of the early 20th century, Miss Amelia is the town eccentric, selling corn liquor and dispensing medicine. She takes in her half-sister's son, a diminutive crook-back named Lymon. He suggests they open a café in the downstairs of her large house. Marvin Macy gets out of prison and returns to town; turns out he was married to Amelia but it wasn't consummated. He pleaded, then got angry. Is he back for revenge? Eventually, Amelia and Marvin stage a no-holds-barred fight in the café. Lymon's complicated response to Marvin and to Cousin Amelia figures in the resolution.

Johns Island

Sun, Mar 14, 1965

CBS Camera Three presented a strong sample of the work of musicologists Guy and Candie Carawan who had spent a number of years living on Johns Island (fifth largest island on the east coast). Their intent was to document and record the stories, songs, and traditional culture of the rural Island population. The Island's elders held in memory knowledge passed through oral tradition from slavery times, and from Africa. The largely agricultural Island's isolation had been changing with the construction of a bridge to the Island, radio, television, and real estate development. The Carawans recorded hundreds of hours of audio, and enlisted Robert Yellin, a documentary photographer and fellow musician, who produced a strong and ethereal photographic record of the Island, and the lives of the keepers of the culture. Yellin met many of those who had contributed to the Carawan archive. He created black and white images, which appeared with the transcripts of oral history, folk tales, and traditional music, in the book "Ain't You Got a Right to the Tree of Life?: The People of Johns Island, South Carolina--Their Faces, Their Words, and Their Songs (Hardcover)", by Guy and Candie Carawan, photographs by Robert Yellin, with forward by Charles Joyner, afterward by Bernice Johnson Reagan (currently revised, 264 pp, published by University of Georgia Press). Camera Three broadcast some of the audio and some of the still photographs as well as commentary putting the history and culture of the Carolina low country into perspective for viewers of CBS in the United States in 1965. The program was a window into a world of strong self-sufficient communities existing in a centuries-old tradition outside the popular conception of mainstream American culture and, as the New York Times put it, "[with courage] preparing to meet the future."

Theories of Immanuel Velikovsky

Sun, Aug 30, 196427 mins

The unorthodox cosmological theories of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, in conversation with author Eric Larrabee. Velikovsky, who had by this time (1964) already become an enfant terrible in the academic world -- despite his advanced age and international reputation -- maintained that many things relegated to the distant past and the product of slow evolution had in fact occurred in historical times. Perhaps his most famous work was "Worlds in Collision", which reexamined the stories of the Bible and the folklores of many cultures, and coordinated them with catastrophic events in the solar system. His work also re-calibrates ancient Egyptian and Greek history. This interview is a very rare television appearance.
